Enabling national initiatives to take democracy beyond elections

A handbook on planning and designing a citizens' assembly or jury.

This “how-to” guide presents the planning and implementation stages of a more consistent, thoughtful way to make credible democratic decisions. The guide focuses on the citizens' assembly model, which uses a civic lottery to bring together a diverse range of ages, genders, viewpoints and perspectives, in an environment where people have a chance to think, discuss and work toward a common position.
